what about rodney morris? it was his first pro tournament and he won it beating efren in the finals??!!

DITTO...to EVERYTHING you just said!!!!!

Thats weird....cause Alex wires me $$$ from the PI and I get it on the same day as when it was wired because of the time difference???? If not, no later than the next day??? Wiring money is pretty instant unless for large sums of money...but even if the money doesn't clear right away...the...

I've asked for action reports back when it was only the round of 32!!! No replies, so I wonder if there has been any at all?? Hard to believe that there was NO action, especially in the philippines Alex told me that Darren got into action a lot (prior to this event when he was in the...

I am sure Alex, Busti, and whoever else you had in mind do not think for one second they "shot themselves in the foot". The reasons for them not participating has been WELL documented here - obviously you haven't been keeping up. And (here we go again) what gives you the right to think they...

I would love to see Monica to get over this "hump" and win an event. I've always felt she was long overdue. Hopefully, whatever it is that has held her back in the future, is gone and she can break thru. I'd love to start a "Congrat's" thread tomorrow Monica - go get um, it's your time...

I highly doubt this. If the round of 64 and 32 pictures that I saw show anything - it' shows this was a failure as from a spectator supportive point-of-view. It is sad that all these people writing articles about the WBTC are praising it as being so highly successful, yet at the same time...

You are right - our opinions matter little. My problem was Ian's statement which specifically mentioned names and blew off these players as "not mattering". That to me shows no class. It's borderline being a complete asshole if you ask me. Someone in his position should have stated things...

Awesome idea!! It'll will also help bring a different "stereotype" to the game which in turn (you're right!) brings different groups of interest. Which means different avenues for revenue and wider support/interest.

Good responses guys...I agree on a lot of things brought up. I guess it's frustrating with how blatant they are in their attempt to completely control the players. What's MOST frustrating is that these guys (Yen/Ian) are not even players or former players!!!! They know nothing about the game...

Just to make sure I wasn't being emotional, or I read the article wrong, I read it again. I am more upset now cause he specifically mentioned Efren, Busti, and Alex as "not mattering". Please someone give this guy a clue!!! Alex, Dennis, Busti, Alcano, etc. are TOPS when it comes to playing...

Did you read the latest article on AZ about the WTBC being held in Manila next year? I don't know about you guys but DAM he sounds like Yen/Raya(ahem)...a dictator(cough cough) to me. He went even as far as to say he thinks the field is "tougher" without them.....geez, no wonder why BMPAP...

I was actually thinking that Wu was gonna be a HUGE hill to conquer in this tournament without any of PI's top players. Even with the top guys there he is ALWAYS a factor. the guy is a prove champion from a very early age....he places well in every tournament he plays in....and he plays every...

Sad it is. I feel sorry for that Pulpul guy too cause he is doing great but THAT'S all that have come to support the guy??? Isn't there like millions of people in the Philippines...there is...so where are these people. Especially in the "pool capital of the world"??? Plus, even though I...

Wow thats horrible spectator attendance (IMO). The stands are not even close to being even HALF full!! It's a TV table too!!! LOL!! When I attended WPC 2003 (Hohman won), those stands were packed with spectators all the time...TV table or not. Especially being the round of 32 already...the...

With only those guys left and ALL the OTHER names already out....I would think it's time to gamble..lol!!! Especially with all the OTHER names (filipinos) that did not play, they must be a bit itchy with all the players in the PI right now? I know if I were there this is the PERFECT time to be...

Just was watching some UFC last night and was thinking how awesome Joe Rogan would be at commentating pool. Imagine his enthusiasim and charisma doing the WPC or even the US Open. And any (if not all) the tournaments on ESPN or TV? I can just imagine him introducing the players and giving...

I am so sorry but I don't know of any actual pool halls on the Big Island anymore:sorry: Back in the late 90's Kelly Oyama (used to be a WPBA Touring Pro owned a hall there) but after it closed I never heard of any other pool halls opening. Sad really, they used to have a pretty good amount...

Good job Sarah! I saw the win over Jasmin, then saw the loss to Vivian and thought what a bummer:( In this sense the new format sucked!! LOL!! Whatever the case, you got bragging right for sure :D

Don't be ashamed...you love the game, you love playing it, and you definitely are passionate about living your dream one day. BTW, just so you know, I have had the same "dream" as you for the past 10 years also. Yes, you were begging....but so what? I give you credit for going all-out like...
